Description:
Double Helix Zephyr Rod (5mm) is a clear lampworking glass rod formulated to melt smoothly and easily while resisting boiling and scumming in the flame. It is designed to have low reactivity with silver lusters, a low seed count, and a pristine surface due to careful handling. This makes Zephyr a strong choice when you need a dependable clear for encasing, for clean overlays, and for protecting reactive surface colors while keeping the finished work looking crisp and polished.
How it is used:
Warm the rod in gently at the far end of the flame, then bring it up to a workable glow and apply it as encasement, as a clear wrap, or as a protective layer over reactive colors. Use steady heat and clean flame conditions to keep the clear smooth and free of haze. Once your piece is evenly heated and the surface is finished, place it into a kiln and anneal using a schedule appropriate for the glass you are working.
